These days, the Oceania has suffered one after another. At first it was a devastating earthquake which shocked New Zealand, and now the Victoria state of Australia is under water.
Today we will focus on a news from CNN which covered an emergency occurrence just happened in Australia yesterday. It reported a heavy rain and flooding, and a mass evacuation which had already began since it happened, and was still proceeding during the disaster.
The reporter used the governmental spokeswoman as the main resource, this spokeswoman spoke on behalf of State Emergency Service. So this resource could be considered reliable. Especially when it was involved in major damage, official statistics would always be a good choice to depend on.
After introduced the flooding situation briefly, the reporter represented the condition of casualties immediately. Generally, death toll and casualties could always be the most attractive factor of a disaster report, people cared about these issues. So indicating relevant conditions of casualties quickly and precisely is very important to a disaster report. And the author of this story performed well here. It was luckily that no deaths were declared, even significant injuries were seldom reported. But to be objective, it also revealed a serious loss on physical treasures.
The article examined the whole situation the local government had found and the measurements they had done throughout the unexpected disaster. It also provided a list of regions which were affected, this was like an announcement to show the specific damage situation, could give people more understanding about this disaster. In the end of the article, the author didn’t forget to write down the forecast of weather from the Australian government’s Bureau of Meteorology.
But the story still has some setbacks, like no particular background introduction, no specific information and lack of prospect. Maybe it was because this story was only a temporary brief, more detailed information would come soon, I think.

Discontent fuels Mongolia's far-right groups
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11141472
Today we are talking about an interesting issue which may be far away from people’s daily attention focus. This was aroused from a BBC news, but compared with other news, this is more like a short feature writing. It is about a phenomenon which they called nationalism, but I consider that new Nazism.
The news’ name is “Discontent fuels Mongolia’s far-right groups”. The first part of this writing showed the background, told us where the discontent came from. The reason pointed to this country’s big neighbor China. After decades of years of influence made by former Soviets, Mongolia had searched for new support both from military and politics. Then China was coming to fulfill the gap. It provided assistance to Mongolian military and investment to the country’s economic. But now more and more Mongolians began to express their discontent against the relation between Chinese government and their own administration. The reporter indicated the people’s worries, they suspected China would undermine their own way of development.
The main part of the writing used “nationalism” to be its title, this was also quoted from a member of far-right group called Dayar Mongol. Dayar Mongol was the protagonist of our story. I couldn’t decide what on earth this organization was but from personal view, I don’t think it is an organization with good manners and nice motivation. The news said, “Swastikas and slogans are daubed on walls across the city”. And Swastika is the symbol of Nazism.
The behaviors of them also illustrated their fierce reactions. The example the news represented firstly was a prominent video which showed a man shaving the head of a Mongolian woman. They blamed her on sleeping with Chinese. I think this was a smart measure to tell audiences what attitude towards the organization but at the same time, stayed objectively.
The writer also contacted some of the group’s members, one of them was the leader, named Erdenebileg Zenemyadar. He dressed traditionally when being interviewed. Although many Swastikas were appeared around his organization, he insisted on their justice. He realized some of their behaviors “is wrong but it’s happening a lot”. Another interviewee was a young member who was also more radical. He dressed combat pants, with swastika necklace around his neck., he said Nazis’ nationalism stood for keeping own nation’s pure to themselves.
The reporter also interviewed representatives of social minority, gay activists and victims of the violence. They were sympathetic to the concerns and discontents, anxious were transmitted at the meantime.
Among the whole news, the reporter showed his professional skills of journalism, kept peaceful wording and stuck to objective perspectives.
